If you are looking to redecorate your home then there is no easier place to start than with your window shutters. After all, your windows take up so much space and often feature in prominent positions. Unfortunately, replacing window shutters for your whole house (or even just a single room) can be pricey. If you are interested in new window shutters, then there is one option that has steamed into popularity: plantation window shutters. Here are a few reasons why plantation window shutters are so sought after.

Easy To Maintain

Minimalism and minimal input are highly sought after features in any new addition to a home, and that is where plantation window shutters excel. There is no need to worry about cords or fabric getting tangled up together in an unusable knot. Nor is there any need to dust dozens of tiny little shutters. The large, thick shutters on plantation windows are very simple to clean, either with a damp rag or a duster. Even better, there is no danger of them jamming or becoming unusable in the future.

Glorious In Summer

While regular shutters can be nice, plantation shutters offer a more luxurious option for those that want a retro-styled home. The thicker shutters provide a more natural look when compared to the smaller, often plastic alternatives. In fact, when they are opened to let the room bathe in sunlight, it creates a very interesting and beautiful display. Summer is many people have their windows flung wide open and shutters provide a nice way to control a draft or to minimise the effect of the sun in the middle of the day.

Endlessly Customisable

Because plantation shutters contain less individual parts than other shutters, they make it much easier to pick and choose what you want. Whether that is a different textured shutter from the frame or completely different colours, you can choose the right style for your home. not everyone wants to have every room use the exact same style of shutters, and with plantation window shutters, you can quickly change them up enough so it provides a unique atmosphere while still conforming the style of the house. For example, you can install plantation shutters in a library or office. That way, the room can let sunlight trickle in. Overall, plantation shutters are a great option for every room and every member of your household.
